This is my environment:

DMZ: Solaris 9, Apache 2 (with mod_proxy), external website

Internal Network: Windows 2000 Server, IIS 5, internal website uses "Integrated Windows Authentication" to control access

I want to use mod_proxy (ProxyPass & ProxyRevers) to allow certain people access via the internet to my website running on IIS which uses Windows Authentication and have Apache serve the IIS website so it is "hidden" from the users. I hoped that when accessing the IIS secure website through Apache (mod_proxy) it would present the user with a logon box to enter their username/password/domain similar to when a user who doesn't have permissions tries to access the website on the internal network.

The website root is at D:/My_Website and the following group has read permissions: MYWEBSITEUSERS.

When I try to access the secure website I get a "The page cannot be displayed ... Cannot find server or DNS Error" error. However, if I turn off "Integrated Windows Authentication" in IIS and change this to "anonymous access" and give the IUSR access to the directory it works.

Can anyone explain to me why this doesn't work and if there is a way to get Apache proxy to work with IIS/Windows authentication?

Thanks,
Andrew
